Me and Mr Rose have half a job between us and that is my job.

However, due to this forum Mr Rose is now getting a few good quality odd jobs so that things are ticking along a little.

And I am training for another part time career in May.

Soooo I will try not get the January blues because at least we don't have a mortgage and there are a lot of people worse off.

Still, bloody cold though!

And there was me thinking one of your '09 resolutions was to not just SAY you were coming to a drinks quids...


One of my 08 resolutions was to not get quite so gut-churningly upset, just because of what 11 fellas in red and white do on a football pitch. Fortunately for me I largely managed that, because those fellas in red and white went on to be even more dissapointing this year. But the main reason to not get so gut-churningly upset was, quite apart from my own sanity, it didn't seem fair to inflict it on Lady Mac.


So there it is. "Not getting upset makes other people happy" shocker.

I quite like that "clean sheet of paper" feeling that comes with the new year, always seems full of promise.


And I didn't go quite so loopy on presents and in the sales that I am going to get that "broke till pay day feeling" that normally makes January drag.


If I get down it's more usually February that does it to me - combination of the reminder of singledom that is valentines day - no matter how crap and commericialized it is, still feels worse being single than not. Plus it's another month of long nights and coldness on top of November, December, January etc.


But in addition to my week of skiing in Jan, I have a long weekend of skiing at the start of Feb to look forward to, and a day course in perfumery at the end of the month which I have wanted to do for many years, plus other things planned, so I am actually quite looking forward to it this year :-).

Ratty:You are allowed as an exceptional case due to the sad demise of your beloved Portsmouth F.C.(January "Blues" indeed!):))

Afraid I don't really subscribe to all that stuff... the calendar always seems pretty arbitrary to me. There's no good reason tomorrow should be the first day of the year rather than any other.

Yep, I usually do a week as well as a long weekend too! Need to get in as much skiing as possible, otherwise I'm desperate to go again by May or June.

Oh, I know it's quite arbitary. But since it makes me happy to think of it that way I'm not planning on stopping!

January blues? Are you fecking mad? I'm always glad that Christmas is over and we can all get back to normal (whatever that is) and step into a new year with a positive attitude. But, then I guess that's just me being an eternal optimist. Happy New Year everyone.

I can't wait for January! Ever the optimist, I think each year is going to be marvellous and indeed that each year I shall grow a tad more fabulous.


I usually run out of steam in June but pick up again in October for my birthday which is pretty good going I reckon...


Have a great 2009 everyone!

Men think about the fact that you beat out about five hundred MILLION other sperm-racers to get to the egg first.


So as we are sooooo lucky to be here then lets make the most of it>:D<


Happy and Healthy New Year To One And All:)-D

Happy New Year, everyone!


Jah and Belle - bless you for being the charming glass-half-full people that you are. Good on you.


Best of luck to all the people who know they have Big Things coming in 2009 (buggie, Keef....) and also to those of us for whom any Big Things will be a surprise...


Tony, don't be a twerp, it isn't only men who are only here because their particular sperm hit home one day. (hits upside the head, but in a friendly, ringing-in-the-new-year kind of way).


Look forward to Quids' new stance promoting the great business opportunities in ED that 2009 will bring.. :-)


May we all grow a little in 2009, and not just in our waistlines.

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
    • Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks
